CHAPTER 1

I sniff as tears plop from my eyes. It stings since there are scratches around my eyes. Did I have to cut there? I think pitifully. I've been cutting for a while and I never tried it on my face. Of course it was a big mistake. I am lying down on the forest floor, watching the bloody tears trickle down into a small muddy puddle with my one eye. I know weird right? The other one is still there on my face, but I just can't see out of it. I just hope it doesn't rain tonight. I hate it when it rains, even though it's good for the plants. I moved to the forests when I was only five, I'm 17 now. Oh, and just so you know I'm a Solar Nature Dragon Slayer. I know mouthful right?

I've been depressed for, let's see, 12 years. Ever since my Dragon, Sunmoa, a-abandoned me. I'm also a vegetarian and I hate it when I see meat hanging in store windows. When I move to a new forest, all the animals in that forest become my family. I can communicate with them, like understand their language, thoughts, and moods. Every time I go into town everyone makes fun of me. I guess it's because I dress a little weird. I wear a Black glossy corset and tattered jeans with a long Silver chain hanging from them. I also wear a long Black hooded cloak. I don't stay in the same forest for too long.

I know what you're all thinking: "Where are your parents?" Well, I never knew who my parents were. Sunmoa said they were most likely nice people, since they had such a beautiful little girl. She said that there was a large fire a while ago and that they didn't survive, she found me wandering the burnt streets as a little baby. She knew right then what to call me: Morgana Solare. The reason she called me this was because she said I looked like a Morgan and the town she was in was called Solar Port.

Just thinking about Sunmoa makes the tears come out even more. I hear a snuffling coming from above my head and I look up to see a happy sight. My pet Wolf, Sven, stares at me with his Silver eyes. I ruffle his Black fur and sit up. He stares at my wrists and licks them clean of the blood. I giggle softly as he licks my face. "Come on." I say standing up. "Let's go into town."

I pull on my cloak and grab my bag. It's pretty big; it was made for holding dirty things, like shoes, plants, or even clothes. I use it for holding my Jewel, food, and books that I manage to pick up. I pull the spiked collar from the bag and place it around Sven's neck. "There you go, my handsome boy." He licks my nose and we walk out of the woods.

I pull items off their shelves in the store. I'm looking for a good hairbrush, my old one broke a while ago. "Oi, Lucy!" a voice pierces my ears and I stiffen. That voice sounds… familiar? No, just my imagination. I look around the corner of a display shelf and cock an eyebrow. A girl with Blonde hair in a White and Blue outfit is holding a few shampoos, while a boy with Rosy Pink hair runs over to her. My mouth drops when I see the Blue cat flying above his head.

I look over to Sven. "The cat can fly like you Sven." I whisper. Sven growls and kneads his paws uneasily. I turn back around and see the girl smacking the boy with the shampoos. I stifle a snicker and move back to the hairbrushes. Sven gives a little bark and I turn towards him. "What's the matter?" I ask. He moves his ears and twitches his whiskers. They are from a guild, he says. "A guild?" I ask. The Pink one is a Dragon Slayer. My eyes widen and a gasp echoes from my throat. "Are you sure?" I ask. But, Sven's eyes aren't on me anymore. I stiffen and stand straight up. "It's nice to stare, you know."

I turn and the girl with Blonde hair stiffens. "Sorry," she says, scratching her arm. "How'd you know I was there?" I look at her like 'it's pretty obvious.' "I smelled you." I reply. A sweat drop appears on her head. "R-really?"

"Yes, you smell of…" I take a whiff of her hair. "Strawberries and bananas."

She blushes and smiles. "Wow, I only thought Natsu could do that." I cock an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" she points to the Pink haired man and sighs. "That idiot over there." I stare with awe. "Really? Can you introduce us?"

"Us?"

"Yes, my Wolf and I."

The girl looks behind me and shivers. "O-okay. My name's Lucy, by the way." She holds out a hand and I take it hesitantly. "Morgana."

Lucy lets me go and brings me over to 'Natsu.' "Natsu," she says "this is Morgana. And…"

"This is Sven." I say sidestepping so he can see Sven. Natsu grins and I notice his extra-long canines. Just like mine! I realize.

"Cool to meet'cha!" Natsu cackles. "This is my partner Happy." Natsu says nudging the Blue cat. "Aye~" the cat says. I smile, not at all surprised. "Nice to meet you both." Sven yips in agreement.

"So what Guild are ya in?" Natsu asks. I look into his eyes and blush. W-what am I feeling? His eyes are a really pretty shade of the color Black. I blink rapidly and look away. "I am not in any Guild." I say softly.

"WHAT?!" Natsu roars. "Come on!" he grabs hold of my wrist and runs out of the shop door. I cry out in shock. Lucy, Happy, and Sven follow behind, not as quickly. After a couple of seconds Natsu stops and I crash into his side. I groan and am about to snap at him until I see where he brought me. It's huge and new and beautiful. I widen my eyes at the strange symbol on the banner at the top of the building. I swear I could've seen that before. I hear panting and turn to see Lucy, Happy, and Sven come up. Lucy and Happy pant but Sven seems quite content. He comes over to me and nuzzles my hand. Are you ok?

"Yes," I reply and pat his head.

"Natsu!" Lucy cries "You didn't need to run so fast! You could've killed Morgana!"

"Thank you for your concern Lucy, but I'm fine." I say. Lucy nods and gives a glare towards Natsu. "Well, Morgana welcome to Fairy Tail!" I look back up at the open building. "Fairy Tail?" Lucy nods. "Yep, the best Guild in all of Fiore." I grin.

"But, what am I doing here?" I ask. Natsu looks confused.

"Didn't you say you've never been in a Guild?" he asks. I nod "Yes, but-"

"Well I'm givin' you your chance!" I look back at him and Lucy. "Y-you mean… you want me in your Guild?"

"We don't want you, we need you." Lucy says, grabbing my hands. "So, will you?"

"Huh?" I ask.

Natsu rolls his eyes. "Do you want to join Fairy Tail or not?" I blink and pull away from Lucy. "I c-can't." I say and begin to walk off. I hear footsteps behind me and suddenly a warm hand grabs onto my shoulder. I turn. "Whad'ya mean you can't?" asks Natsu. A heated look in his eyes.

I look down at the ground. "I'm no good. Where ever I go… people just hate me, okay? That's why I'm no good." I feel the tears begin to dribble down my cheeks and I rip away from Natsu's firm grip. "Wait Morgana!" Happy calls out. But too late, I'm running away from the Guild, Sven at my heels.

Why couldn't we have stayed? Sven asks as I push my face into his fur.

"I bring bad luck wherever I go." I say between sobs. I smelled them, Mo. They were ready to take anything. Even the bad luck.

I look up at him and wipe away some stinging tears. They were ready to love you. I widen my eyes and look away. Sven crawls closer to me. Mo, how long have we been friends? I sniff, "11 years." Exactly, have I ever lied to you? I shake my head and sniff again. Sven licks at my elbow and I wrap him in a bear hug. "I'm sorry." I say.

I'm okay, as long as you're okay. I nod again and stand up, patting the dirt from my jeans. "I suppose I should go and apologize." I say. Yes, I suppose. But not now, tomorrow. I smile and curl up next to Sven. We both fall asleep like that.
